In addition, the festival will--as it has before--feature indie artists and others whose music blends genres such as rock, soul, blues, and country. This year watch out for Roger McGuinn of the Byrds, Texas stalwart Commander Cody, alt-country/bluegrass group Old Crow Medicine Show, singer-songwriter Justin Townes Earle (son of country/folk icon Steve Earle), and folk-flecked group John Reilly and Friends (featuring actor John C. Reilly and originally planned as part of this year's Railroad Revival Tour).
And finally, one thing that makes this festival so impressive is the number of classic country artists who are brought into the mix with contemporary headliners. This year the list of country legends includes recent Country Music Hall of Fame inductee Connie Smith, rock and country pioneer Jerry Lee Lewis, Charley Pride, Tanya Tucker, and Don Williams (who recently released a beautiful album featuring Keith Urban and Vince Gill).
As you can see, the roster this year is both impressive and rather long, so you can peruse the full list below at your leisure.
